Lecture 9 — February 21

In this lecture, we will define different types of alignments and explain some of their properties. We begin with a suitable alphabet Σ. Throughout the discussion, we will choose Σ = {A,C,G, T}, the four nucleotides, although note that the definitions hold for all finite alphabets. Examples of other alphabets include Σ′ = {A,C,G, T,N}, where N denotes an unknown base. The alphabet Σ′ is widely ...

Heart failure awareness week: February 14-21.

The statistics pertaining to heart failure are awesome. It now affects 4.6 million Americans, and 400,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. After a diagnosis is made, less than 50% of patients survive more than five years, and less than 25% survive more than 10 years. Class IV heart failure carries about a 50% mortality in one year. Deaths from heart failure rose 120% from 1979 to 1996, and ho...

High-strength aluminum alloys are of increasing interest to the aerospace and automotive industry for critical high-strength components. B-pillars and door beams being of particular interest to the automotive industry Refill friction stir spot welding (RFSSW) offers an attractive means of joining these difficult-to-weld alloys since bulk melting is avoided and no exit hole is left. In this stud...
